The Art of Casting in Bronze

Bronze is a general term covering a variety of copper-based metal alloys and has been the choice of craftsmen around the world for centuries.

This range captures the precise definition of the original sculptures using the traditional 'lost wax' technique to capture the timeless appeal of both classic and modern art.

Bronze Casting Process

Using the ancient lost wax casting process allows the artists to maintain the integrity of their work and to reproduce an exact sculpture of the highest quality. Historically, the original sculpture was created in wet clay, which when dry became the master. All subsequent waxes were taken from this master, enabling a negative mould to be produced.

Thanks to advances in technology, the modern way to produce a wax from the original is to first produce a latex mould, and from this a wax image. The great advantage of this technique is that we can determine the thickness of the wax and hence that of the finished bronze. This is particularly important when determining the weight of a large piece.

After hand finishing, the wax is covered in a fine ceramic emulsion to form a shell, further applications of a very strong ceramic plaster are then added to form a final rigid mould.

Once 'safe' the mould is heated in a kiln to approximately 1100°F, thereby melting the wax and driving off all moisture. This leaves a cavity in which the molten bronze can be poured. Hence the term 'lost wax' casting.
